Chinese Fried Cabbage Rice

Chinese Fried Cabbage Rice

It is not difficult to find a plate of Seafood Fried Rice, Sambal Fried Rice or Beef Fried Rice when you dine out, but how often, can we find a place that sell Chinese Fried Cabbage Rice?

My mum cooked this, but rarely, as my dad dislike the sweetness of cabbage that infuse the rice. In opposition, I love it.

I learnt this dish from my mum and sharing over here for reader who love this too or want to try something new if you have not eaten this dish before.

Tips and Comments:

• I like the rice to be softer in this dish, hence, if you prefer grainy rice, adjust the quantiy of water accordingly.
